"Hurry up, you slowpoke"
"Just wait a damn minute. Why are you in a rush?"
"I'm not. I just feel bad that we always kept Kyro waiting, that's all."
"Such a lame excuse."
"Whatever, I'll go first. You, hurry up"
After Ashler left, Kryoss glanced down to see the system window. It says that the remaining time is 7 days, 12 hours and 34 minutes. He already know what it was referring to without even reading what's written.
It's the time he was supposed to be transported into another universe. He left his own planet to suffer like this. He didn't even brought someone to accompany him because of the system's requirements. I shouldn't have agreed to this, this sucks.
As he was regretting his life choices, he suddenly remembered the pale and beautiful face that greeted him when he first came to this world. He clearly remembered how shocked that face looked upon seeing him for the first time. His heart thumped at that sight which is rather peculiar.
Well, it might not be bad at all. He muttered to himself. Just as he was about to head out, another notification had just popped out in front of him blocking his view. He can clearly see new words written in red.
[ Time remaining for transport: 7 days, 12 hours and 32 minutes.
Destination: Unknown
Condition: Can bring a maximum of 3 people. ]
A condition... is this really a coincidence? 3 people and for what exactly? He didn't know what's this damn system up to or planning to do. Even after all the efforts and money he put in researching the source of this system, he always failed. Even his great great grandfather failed in analyzing it.
Stepping out of the building, he was greeted by an annoyed looking Ashler. Cute. should I bring him along with me? I guess not. I don't even know what's the situation there. I don't plan on getting him in danger.
While his face is looking as calm as ever, his mind is processing a lot of things. He's never been this indecisive before. He wonder when did he changed. Maybe a certain someone changed him.
Kryoss strode his way to the van. He stopped in front of Ashler. Standing face to face with this beautiful face is really a blessing. I could live like this everyday.
Unfortunately for him, he can't afford that kind of thing.

I was casually tapping my phone and replying to various of people when I suddenly heard footsteps. When I turned to see who, I was confused.
His footsteps are usually quiet like a cat's, so what's with him tapping his heels. So noisy. I was confused when he suddenly stopped in front of me rather than entering the car.
Sometimes I really can't understand what's going on that pretty head of his.
"You're late"
He's so tall so I stretched my neck upward just to look at him. I feel so small standing in front of him so I suggested that we should hurry and relieved that he just obliged.
The trip to the shoot was uncomfortably quiet. He's been staring at me since earlier. What's wrong with him?
Feeling frustrated by the blatant staring, I feel the urge to smack his face but after remembering that PRETTY face of his, I just gave up the idea. He's lucky that I treasure beautiful things or else I might just loose my mind and beat him up.
I can see his reflection in the window smirking at me. Damn. This pisses me off.

When we arrived, the staffs are already busy preparing and setting up. Of course the staffs responsible for the model are on stand by, waiting for us. Upon seeing us, they immediately dragged me, urging me to hurry up.
The shoot finished in just 3 hours because of they've been rushing it since the company messed up in some things and they have to work two-times faster than usual.
After we depart and was heading back, I asked Kyro if I still have something in my schedule for today and he said none so I told him that we should grab lunch together.
"I'm on. What do you two want? I'll reserve a seat."
"Anything is fine."
"Alright then, I'll choose. Don't go complaining later, alright?"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
After finishing eating I told Kyro that I was tired so we decided to go home and rest. The food was great and all but we stopped by a cafe to grab something to drink because I suddenly feel thirsty. Kyro volunteered to buy and told us to stay inside the car. Upon waiting for him to return, I suddenly feel a wave of drowsiness washed over me so I decided to take a short nap.
As I opened my eyes, a familiar sight greeted me. The lush green trees, weeds that grow so high that you can't see the way, the chirping of birds from a distance, and the sound of water flowing feels so comfy that one might just decide to stay there not knowing that it's just a dream. Of course Ashler knew that so he wasn't flustered or anything.
He glanced around so see if there's someone else here but he saw nothing. Last time that he came here, there were a market here and people was busy doing stuffs. But right now, all he can see was a desolated place that lacks humans presence.
While busily looking around he suddenly heard footsteps behind the tall weeds. Upon looking closely, he can see a silhouette of a person.
"Come out. Why are you hiding there instead of facing me? You brought me here to tell me something, right? Just tell me already. I'm quite a busy person you know."
Although he said that, he's still not sure if he can face that person who keeps showing up in his dreams. Yes he wants to know the reason why that person keeps doing this things but there's something bothering him and he can't pinpoint what this feeling is. It's like the feeling of something bad was about to happen and making him feel about the incoming danger.
He heard some rustling sound so for now he focused his attention on the man and saw the man walking towards him clearing the weeds that got in his way.
When revealed, he saw the same cloaked man he met in one of his previous dream. Of course he didn't let his guard down even for a minute. Just because this is a dream doesn't mean that he's safe. The fact that he can be summoned here by this mysterious man was enough for him to understand that this man is strong.
The hooded figure stopped and removed his hood. This act made Ashler's breath stopped for a moment. He was momentary stunned to see that the man behind that cloak has a ethereal face.
"Nice meeting you, again, Ashler."
Even his voice is pleasant to the ears. The way he speaks in a low and calm tone is truly relaxing accompanied by his face, it can make a person hypnotized.
